Has anyone attempted to light one of these recently? Looking for feedback on how it went before I try this one out.

Found this today at a second hand shop. It burns well even with the old gas that came with it. One of the pics is the clip that holds the grill to rotate up. Since a couple are broken, does anyone have advice on where they may have found them or how you have fashioned them. Any assistance is appreciated.

I asked for help identifying this a week or so ago. I had purchased it just for the Coleman globe since it did not cost much for obvious reasons. I then became interested in the challenge of working on it. After some clean up and paint along with some frustrating creativity, the Akron/Montgomery Ward is alive. Fun project. I still have to fashion a collar but that is for another weekend.

Although I'm typically a Coleman person, I saw this for a few bucks and picked it up. Needed to replace the valve casket but easy to do and the vent was in bad shape so I painted it with high heat paint. Not my choice, typically, but it was rough. The canister was empty so I filled it with my Flame King filler. Not sure I recommend this but it worked. The new ones will go in but you will need to lubricate it and muscle it a bit.
